“Watashi” by Haku

Finding this group was a nice surprise. They only have three songs and this is just the latest but it's got a really solid composition. Haku was the winner of a grand-prix and listening to this song is easy to see why they won. 

Check out “Watashi” here, along with the official music video below.

“ReSTARTING!!” by Aimi

I stumbled across this song while writing articles and I really dug it. It’s got a heavy anime feel which I’ve been in the mood for as of late. “ReSTARTING!!” is a lot fun and it’s full of positivity that I usually enjoy as well.

“Kamisama No Itazura” by Spira Spica

This mid-tempo number by Spira Spica was just a delight to discover. Its a bit moody and almost melancholic but there is something about it that I find charming. This was the song that helped me decide to cover them for Music Corner and I’ve had it on repeat all month long.

“Star”by BiSH

This latest release by BiSH is one I absolutely love. It reminds me a lot of their early work, specifically “Spark” and to me this song just has a nostalgic feel to it. It’s a nice mid-temo number with some nice guitar work in it. I’ve had this one on repeat for about a month now.

“Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora” by Liella!

I’m so glad this song did as well as it did on the ORICON. I had a blast the week we covered this number and I’ve been listening to it ever since. I’ve always circled around whether or not I would watch the anime but if the next release is as good as this one is, I’ll probably check it out.
